One of the crew who lifted with us took a bunch of vids. I'll ask her to put them all up and I'll link them when they're up.

I got a dude sitting facing a barbell on a bench that's laid atop a mountain of skulls. He's fückin sweet!

RPS has the most obnoxious trophies. I love it!

Now go drink beer.

Actually lodging fell through, so we're going home. When we get home, we're going to drink beer.

EDIT: Those trophies are outrageously obnoxious. It's excellent.
 
Congrats man. 1430, that's really outstanding, indeed heroic. Job well done.

545/365/555 next time, man! Really, I'm just going to train my ass off, show up on meet day with a goal of 5lb PRs, and a very fluid plan as far as attempts.

I can't express how discouraged I was warming up for squats. I was certain I was going to bomb. I pulled two squats out of my ass and then my opening bench I smoked until my wrists turned over. At that point, I was done stressing. It was like the bar said "Fück you, Dude." And I said "No, it's my turn to fück you." And I did. A rollercoaster.
 
Way to do work my man. Congrats. And they do how obnoxious trophies. Nice dead too man, I'm impressed.
 
Herderdudeman...you are getting ridiculously strong...and it's ****ing awesome! Congrats on the win!

Rob, you fücking killed it today! Congrats! Just saw how your day went. Way to do it, man. You're coming along at an alarming rate. I bet these days you look like the dude that ate Rob from a year ago.
 
King of the ****ing mountain, Dude. Not only did Gene Rychlak call your commands, but you looked like a pure ****ing badass.
 
Nice pull man. The bar must be good holy hella bend. I'm jealous. You got a ton in you for 2014 Bro. Keep doing what you've been doing.

Edit: beautiful squat too. Holy hell. I need to build these legs now.

Wait til you yank on a deadlift bar, bubba. You're gonna hurt feelings.

That squat wasn't nearly as good morningy as you let on.

Lol. You know how it goes when the bar's on your back, man. Exaggeration runs rampant. I guess what would be more accurate is that I got forward and by the grace of God finished the lift.
 
Congrats brah, we totalled within 10lbs of each other, race to 1500?

Squat squared me for a 2nd, didn't think you'd make it; also looks like you covered a lot more real estate than necessary with the wraps, is that what you prefer?

Bench looked easy.

Yeah, with the 3m spiral wrap, we actually spiraled down and spiraled it all the way back up. I like that wrap a lot. I took a PR second with the thought process of "I have no legs or hips right now, and I'm in the meet, so fück it, best case is one more successful lift."

555 was freaking textbook perfect form. Nothing broke down, but once I got past where the wraps take you, I stuck for a second and then sunk back to the bottom. Nothing in my legs. I could feel that bench would be fine, had no idea deadlift would go so well. Immediately after squat, I wanted to take my last deadlift warmup as my first attempt, 475. Hit 505 for a full meet deadlift PR, and get out of dodge. My warmups went 315 beltless smoked. 365 beltless smoked, 405 belted good, 455 good, and I knew it was PR time.
 
Oh YEAH. Watched a guy (a BIG BOY) pull his 675 opener in a spud belt that blew out when the bar was at his knees. So he switched to a lever belt for 725. Missed it at lockout. Apparently the lever belt was not his jam. So he walked up to the platform for the second-to-last pull of the meet and pulled 725 without a belt.

Keep calm

And pull

725

With no belt

They let him use a spud in RPS?
 
jimbuick said:
Hmm.

No wrap limits either?
Click to expand...

3m for raw modern and for amateur equipped. Amateur multi-ply is 3m wraps and double ply briefs + double ply suit limit. Pro equipped is non drug tested, unlimited equipment (3-ply, 3.5m wraps).
 
Oh yeah, Dave Tate was at the meet for a couple hours toward the end of the day. That was super cool.
 
Awesome stuff. You lied about that squat though....was MUCH better than what I envisioned when you typed it up. :D
 
^^^This...congrats on a job well done HD!! Your planning and meet were awesome. You are building one helluva solid strength foundation.

Good lifting man, what shoes are you wearing?

Thanks man! Pendlay Do-Wins. Love them for squatting and benching. Hate them for deadlifting. Obvs pull in Chucks. Might start pulling in the Do-Wins in training to make it harder.

I need to try a near max effort in my chucks. I absolutely hate them for rep work.
